New State Representative Grateful

I want to thank the residents of Glastonbury and Manchester for for their support during my campaign for 13th District state representative. I am proud that I will be serving our towns in the state legislature.

I will keep my promise to bring a new voice of common sense to Hartford. No campaign is possible without a dedicated team of individuals behind a candidate, and I was so fortunate to have the support of people with varied experience and talents, but all with a common spirit of hard work, wisdom and optimism.

I thank the Republican town committees for placing their faith in me. My campaign team jumped in without reservation and provided so much calm organization to the campaign process. A special thank you to Tim Devanney, Matt Galligan, Kim Thompson, Lou Spadaccini, Cheri Eckbreth, Matt Peak and so many others.

My opponent, Joe Diminico, and I kept our promise to run positive campaigns and I applaud him for his service and graciousness. And of course, I thank my wife, Melissa, and daughter Samantha for their support in so many ways as well.

Most of all I thank the many people who welcomed me at their homes as I rang doorbells on so many evenings and weekends. I met so many new people who took the time to speak to me and I reconnected with acquaintances of my parents and friends, and the families of kids I have coached and was inspired by the deep pride that so many of our residents have for the great towns of Glastonbury and Manchester.
